In 1990, after WQSM stopped playing top 40, WZFX added some top 40 hits to its music mix.. This move took "The Fox" back to the top of the ratings

In 1994, WZFX moved from the Wachovia building to a former Cato department store, which the owners purchased.

In 1995, Atlantic Broadcasting Group sold WROV-FM to Ray Thomas Roanoke, Virginia and WLNI in Lynchburg, Virginia, leaving the company with only WZFX. Several DJs and general manager Lynn Carraway were let go. At the time, WZFX played no rap until after 5 in the afternoon, and rap-leaning WLRD was doing very well despite its limited signal.

In 1997, Beasley Broadcasting--owner of WKML, WTSB, WAZZ and WEWO--bought WZFX from Joyner Communications. There was talk in 1996 of another company buying WZFX and WLRD, but that deal fell apart. Later in the year, Beasley also bought WLRD and WYRU. For a short time, WLRD aired the programming of WZFX.
